Abdel Aziz Issa Abdul Mohsin Al Muqrin (/audio=En us Abdulaziz Issa Abdul Mosin Al Moqrin from Saudi Arabia pronunciation (Voice of America). ogg/'/ɑː//b//d//əl// //ə/'/z//iː//z// /'/ɪ//s//ə// //ɑː//l/'/m//ɪ//ɡ//r//ᵻ//n/; عبد العزيز عيسى عبد المحسن المقرن; also Abd al Aziz al Moqrin and other transliterations), alias Abu Hajr (ابو هاجر) and Abu Hazim, (1972 – 18 June 2004), was the leader of the militant Jihadist group al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia. He succeeded Khaled Ali Hajj, when the latter was killed by Saudi security forces in March 2004. Al Muqrin had trained with Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Al Muqrin lived in the Riyadh's Al Suwaidi District, home to many Saudi extremists.

Al Muqrin was born to middle class parents in Riyadh and was a high school dropout. He married at the age of 19 and had one daughter. He left his wife in about 1988 to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan and later fought in Bosnia Herzegovina. In the 1990s he ran guns from Spain to Algeria. Most of his training occurred in jihadist camps in Afghanistan. He was reported to have fought against Ethiopian forces in the Ogaden. Muqrin wrote a book on military strategy called A Practical Course for Guerrilla War, which has been compared with Abu Bakr Naji's Management of Savagery as a book that has influenced Al Qaeda's thinking on guerrilla warfare. Al Muqrin was No. 1 on Saudi Arabia's second official list of most wanted terrorists, which was published in December 2003. In 2004 his faction claimed responsibility for a series of attacks against Westerners in Saudi Arabia including the June 2004 shooting that seriously wounded BBC correspondent Frank Gardner and killed cameraman Simon Cumbers,

Al Muqrin was responsible for the May 29 attacks at Al Khobar that left more than 20 people dead and several other operations. The online magazine Al Khansaa claims to have been founded by al Muqrin shortly before his death. In 2004, plans were discovered posted online under al Muqrin's name containing the itinerary, routes of travel, and security personnel of Prince Nayef bin Abdel Aziz, and plans to assassinate him with RPGs.
